COURTEOUS SERVICE _____.N<miw^jff,n_ii��^i;l,^a.^��mirFmTw��s3 Close to $600,000 worth of buildings along the Sunshine Coast from Port Mellon to Jervis Inlet were constructed be-, tween May, 1957 and May of;; this year according to a survey All*but about 20 percent of the total $593,380 was f0r new homes.The remainder was for commercial and other minor construction. This survey took into consid-. eration building permits issued in Gibsons totalling '$114,-' 900 and in Sechelt, totalling $132,480. The remaining amount, $346,000 was covered by construction in the unor-, ganized areas. . "B.C. Electric officials made the survey and in unorganized areas it was an on-the-spot (check of new construction. ? These officials pomt put that final construction figures? in most cases would?ibe greater ��� than original '���-:esthMfes.X^e;v.' same would aj^y^ permits issued in the villages of Sechelt and Gibsons. On this basis it can be assumed that the $600,000 figure is no exaggeration. There were'three months in the year when no new building started and they were June ?bf i95-7, December;.1957, and March, 1958. It is also pointed out?;_that the building figures Jor the unorganized areas were not started until November of last yfia^ a six mojith period in which con- structiq&^was ^started with no figured to? show how much. '''vj--The'ayierag_;;a^punt''6f build ing permonth based on the six month figures available was close to $50,0.00 so adding this figure would? bring the total construction for the area closer to the-million dollar mark but the Coast News prefers to stress? actual 'figures rather than figures which mayor may not be accurate. ?Such construction work means a considerable amount of work for contractors hi all building lines and judging ���from reports from companies supplying building, materials, both the; contractors and the building supply houses ? have had a busy year. ? $~ y Centennial ~__ere is a roundup of permanent Centennial projects from Port Mellon to Pender Harbour: Port Mellon: Clearing and development of the beach area at Seaside to improve the beach for swimming purposes.

The pic* lure shows ^Harriet Elizabeth Gibson on her wedding day when she married Albert A. McCall in Vancouver in 1900. Mrs.. McCall^ whose husband died in 1947, was 80 years old on April 20, and now lives in Victoria. She came with the family from Chatham, Ont., in 1886 by train to Port Moody and then by boat to Vancouver and later to Gibsons. Hey kids, how about some swimming lessons? The'Gibsons Kecreation committee and the Kinsmen "Club will sponsor free swimming lessons during July and August for children in this area. Miss Donna Clements, a q'ual ified Red Cross instructress, will be in charge of the classes. Assisting her will be young swimming enthusiasts who may have a chance to become instructors in the' future. Several parents have already offered servicesA to assist the Kin s m e n in: maintaining smoothly run classes and to keep an eye out for any possible dangers. The Kinsmen Jbad hoped to get the swimming started earlier but due to "the lack of nee essary fands -were unable to do so. Now the;Recreation committee has come to the rescue with financal help and the lessons will start as soon, as the registration forms are in and lists of students compiled. These classes will be held at the Municipal float below the Village office, on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 till 8:30. Children six years of age or over may enter but due to the large number of swimming s'tu- dents expected, it may have to be restricted to certain age limits. Please have all official registration forms, as shown below, in before July 3. Mail all applications to KINSMEN SWIM CLASSES, Box 164, in Gibsons, of leave with Bert Crowhurst at Totem Realty. Children who have, sent in their forms, who are in the age group 6 to 9, should- come'down on Monday, even-, ing, July 7 and those over 9 on Wednesday July 9- AH entries' must be on this form and attach list if more space is. needed. In 1951, the government adopted the policy of offering successful bidders for Crown timber the option of electing to pay the full bid price subject to equal or upward re-appraisal every two years, or have the bid price fluctuate with the rise and fall of the average market price for logs or lumber as determined by the forest service. After July 1, 1958, all new timber sale stumpage will be paid on the basis of the sliding scale. This means the stumpage rate will be adjusted periodically in relation to each 15 per cent fluctuation in the average market prices, recognized by the forest service. r The purpose of. the new policy is to give relief to those logging operators who in the past have been caught in the -falling market without a compensating decline in. stumpage rates. The new policy will not apply to minor products or salvage, the minister pointed ��ut. After July X, 1958, operators holding timber sales which do not include the sliding scale provision will be offered the opportunity to take advantage of the sliding- scale upon application to the local district foresters. Special forms for this application will shortly be in the mail tb all -Umber sale contract holders throughout the province. . .. At the present time sliding scale privileges may be elected by any operator at the time the timber sale is granted. Approximately 70 percent of all operators are on this system now. DONATE $20 Replying to a protest by Gibsons Village Commission, B.C. Telephone Company in a letter Tuesday night to the commission explained that when the .company took over from Government Telephones there 'were 370 Gibsons phones served through a single magneto switchboard and now there are ^794 jjfefyed through a six-posi- : &op-4Wup, andsb far $150,000 has been spent inside and outside, as regards-the phone system. The letter to the commission was prompted by one from the commission protesting increased rates for phone service. The B.C. Telephones letter explained that the number of subscribers served by individual lines has increased from 46 to 196, an increase of 350 percent. B.C. Telephones letter also explained that obsolete phones are being replaced and that the hours of operation which were from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. are now on a 24 hour basis. The attitude of the village commission is that the service offered has not increased per centage-wise to warrant such increase in phone rates. The problem of street lighting costs between B.C. Electric and the village has been drawn to the attention of the Public Utilities Commission. The protest claims the rate is too high. Accounts totalling $466.04 were ordered paid of which $321.85 was for roads, $126.20 fire protection, $14; 21 general and $3.78 prater. Tenders on the V.L.A. water pipe line construction were opened and tabled for further consideration. Stop signs are to be placed on both sides of Fletcher road at School Road crossing, also on Wynn road entering Gower Point Road.

First game starts at 8 p.m. Remember about the early bird, $50 will buy a lot of worms, and other things. The BIG DAY comes Tuesday when Gibsons Centennial celebration starts at 9 a.m. and will last until the wee small hours. At 9 a.m. at the Municipal Float, there will be swimming races for children, diving events, and log rolling with other water sports as they become available. This will carry on for most of the morning. Then at 11:30 a.rr_. the 60 float parade will start to line up in Elphinst|ne High school area ready for judging at 12:30 by three judges who will be picked on the spot by Parade Marshall Jack Marshall. At 1 p.m. sharp the parade, headed by the Vancouver,.Girls ���*?-pipe"'-*B_n_~;*^^ K.i n smen Park, along Sechelt Highway to the. corner by the Telephone office then down to Seaview^ along to Beach, then to Marine Drive, past the Coast News office and up to the Post Office corner then along Gower Point road to the park. ���������..,.' Arrival at tbe park is slated for 2 p.m. when Village Commission Chairman A.E. Ritchey will perform opening ceremonies to be followed by Don Amow, master of ceremonies, announcing winners of the parade float contest!. By three o'clock it is expected Kinsmen Club sports for youngsters will be underway with the open challenge tug- of-war event following. This tug-of-war challenge should attract several good ten-man teams and a lively battle may occur. Beard judging is planned at well. Following the field sports there will be a ball game at 4 o'clock between two junior league teams. Ancient mariners Two hardy old Scotsmen who have been fishing out of Pender Harbour for many years have left again for the fishing grounds. Angus Kerr and his brother, Peter, aged,. 84 and 79 respectively, have left with their gill net boats for another season. Each owns his own boat and the boats are kept ship shape all the year round- They are probably the oldest fishermen on this coast and have been very successful in landing their share each season. This year they will fish about 100 miles north of Pen- der Harbour. During the afternoon on the field there will be refreshments available and music by the Girls Pipe Band. There? will be a lull in the day's celebration after the ball game until 9 p.m. when there will be a fireworks display and fire, float. Firemen of Gibsons and Sechelt will have charge of the fire float and fireworks. There will be some daylight fireworks which will be set off first and then later on regular'fire works. It is expected that any shoreline .between the Headlands and the area beyond the municipal float will be good grandstand seats duijing the; .fireworks display. People with ���'-bba'ls^-m-sHfc^^ '."'fire'���'>.. float and the ? fireworks float so as to avoid accidents. Following the fireworks there will be a big dance starting at 10 p.m. in the school hall fepot prizes will be offered during the dance. 'Programs1 will be available along the route of the parade and with each program will be a numbered stub to be torn off and deposited in boxes or given to members of the committee who -will be identified by their badges. During the dance a draw will take place for the $10 and $5 prizes offered by the program committee. , ��� It should also be remembered that tickets will be on sale at 50 cents each for the Board of Trade $50 and $25 draw which will also be made at the dance. Inquest follows highway fatality An inquest will be held into the death of John Bunyan, 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Bunyan of 'Pratt Road, who was fatally injured Friday afternoon when struck by. an automobile on Sechelt Highway west of Danny's *Dining Room. ; .. ��� - Young Bunyan and Leonard Wray, about the same age, ap parently darted behind a passing school bus into the path of a car driven by David Blake, . 17, of Roberts Creek. The nature of the injuries suffered by the Bunyan boy were such that Dr. H. Inglis ordered him flown to Vancouver where the young lad died. The Wray boy was sent home and later to St. Mary's Hospital. He is now resting at home. FROM HANEY Mr. and Mrs. R-A. McCul- lough of Haney visited Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Turner of Sechelt.

Decision to build the Trans- Canada Telephone System's coast-to-coast microwave chain was first taken in order to provide the vital cross-country voiceways required to keep pace with and spur on the growth of Canada. Thus, when , the CBC, early in 1955 awarded the contract for providing coast-to-coast television facilities, the huge project got rapidly underway. Canada's first microwave inter city chain ��� the Bell Telephone Company of Canada's Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal system opened in May, 1953 ������ and then-existing shorter microwave links in Ontario and Quebec became part of the overall "skyway." The $50,000,000 project was a major engineering and construction undertaking that involved . pioneering in a real sense. Pushing the chain of microwave towers across Canada meant struggling through some of the roughest terrain and the severest weather this immense country can offer.

Twice in periods of crisis British Columbia came close to joining its neighbor to the south, as a part of the United States of America.'-'... The first time, of course, was during the Gold Rush of 1858 when miners from the gold fields of California poured into the wilderness by the thousands. They came into the fur trader's domain, a territory without formal government, unmapped and unsurveyed.' Mining camp committees were elected; a private war was tfought with the Indians in Fraser Canyon; there was strong talk (of annexation by the United States. Only resolute action by Governor James Douglas taken on the sketchiest of legal grounds, impressed British sovereignity upon the gold rush on the Lower Fraser. The next crisis came ten years later, after the two colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia were united?. The new colony was deeply in debt, hard times gripped the country, trade was at a standstill. London was far away and colonial administrators had lit- lte knowledge of, and apparently cared less about this far-flung outpost of Empire. San Francisco was the metropolis and the transportation centre through which flowed all goods, news, travellers. It is not surprising that a strong movement grew in British Columbia for annexation to the more prosperous country to the south. This was no ''crackpot" movement, but one strongly backed by most of the merchants of the day, and by some of the newspapers. Candidates openly supporting annexation were elected to the legislature, debate in session at one time teetered to the brink of a formal resolution requesting union with United .States. Through the vision and fiery oratory of a. few men, British Columbia was argued, persuaded, almost driven into Confederation, in 1871. "A Mari Usque Ad Mare." As Canada approaches her 91st birthday, we look back and salute the courage of those pioneers whose vision leaped five mountain ranges, across thousands of miles of empty prairie lands and another thousand miles of lakes and trees and wilderness. They looked across an empty,continent;.and decidecl to join with Canada in the building of a hew n_titm;VV;:^?V;1f?v?'V' We look forward on our country's 91st birthday.

Canada on October 24, 1621, was Elustache, son of Abraham Martin, the original owner of the historic Plains of Abraham site of the famous battle between the armies of Wolfe and B/Iontcalm. At Montreal, on November 24, 1658, Barba Meusier was the first white child born. EJtierme Brule, an 18-ye_ar- old Canadian, (year 1610-3.1) living with the Algonquin Indians, was the first whft�� m&ri to explore Ontario,. He spent 22 years living among Western Indians, but in 1632 met an ���n- timely fate when he was de- ��� voured by his Indian associates The youngest bride in Canadian records was Marguerite Sedilot, who, when ll: ye&rs and five months old, married: Jean Aubuchon of Three Rivers, Quebec. This Was oriS#t. 19, 1654. The ceremony V/as declared null and void, but was subsequently completed when the child reached her 12th birthday.

Of the four daughters of Guillaume Couillard, Marguerite was married at 11 years, Louise at 12, Elisabeth at 14 and Marie at 15.

SENATOR DEDICATED TO RESTORE . Coast News, June 26, 1958. Granville Street in the vicinity of Georgia, as a road bordered by skunk cabbages. Farms hid in the woods beyond 9th Avenue, and Howe Street was a lane with plank sidewalks. In those old days, when the sound of hammers and saws filled the air along with the smoke of bush fires as the land was cleared, traffic accidents were unheard of, bands of hoods did not roam the streets, and folks never locked their doors. And a black cat drowsed in the sunny small window among tlie black lisle hosiery in Woodward's Store on Main St. WANT ADS ARE -REAL SALESMB Pender Harbour P.T First Prize $50 TICKETS 50c Clad in his colorful tribal regalia? Canada's first Indian senator, Sen. James Gladstone, left, is shown with Fred Wheatley and Jaspar Hill at the annual pow wow of the Toronto Indian cluh. Sen. Gladstone, 70-yenr-old member of the Cardston. Alberta Blood Indian reserve, told the gathering that his task was'to recover the lost pride-of the Indian. He urged the federal government to give treaty Indians education aid similar to that given to European immigrants, rte explained that he had not worn his Indian dress at the senate swearing-in ceremony because it would have been "showing off." 100 YEARS FOR B.C. AND m IN PARLIAMENT (By William H. Payne. *4J>.) Everyone in the House of Commons was. shocked by the tragedy which occurred,on the new Second 'Narrows Bridge. The Prime __i_Tster received word of. this disaster just moments before the adjournment of the house and rose to make the announcement and to extend the sympathies of the government to those who, had been bereaved; Immediately the leader of the opposition rose to add his sympathies. It was a sad announcement to all members from the west coast and I join with the others in offering my condolences. ; Earlier in the evening Hon. Donald Fleming, minister of finance presented Canada's budget. He gave us a crystal clear picture of the economic factors at play in Canada, a sound and concise resume of the business operations for the last 12 months, and a forthright frank appraisal of our business outlook for the coming year. Mr. B^emmg^i^re��ses one with his. :.frai^ness, in his breadth of vision, his dedication to the concept of "Canada for Canadians." It ,is not possible to review in detail all that was covered in the two hours of the budget speech. Most of the highlights will now have been covered by press, radio and television. I was particularly pleased with the changes providing the exemption of prescription medicines, spectacles and diagnosis ��� -medical charges from taxable . income.. This will certainly relieve a burden on the family man and on those who are supr porting chronic cases within their family requiring expensive prescribed medicines. The proposed changes in the gift tax., exemption to permit the transfer of up tb $10,000 between husband and -wife, ~ or father and child, will correct an injustice which has been long in existence. The budget message was one of confidence in Canada's future, and dedicated to preserving Canada for Canadians. I am expecting tenders to be called for the construction of the Gibsons breakwater undertaking in early July, and work should be started shortly thereafter. I regret that the delay developed through technical .engineering problems, but these have been ironed out, and every effort is being8made to speed the work. First aid course A local resident.successfully completed a course in industrial first aid instruction in Vancouver recently. James M. Brown of Gibsons attended the instructors school Which was sponsorel by the St. John Ambulance Association and the Workmen's Compensation Bibard. Director of the training school was John H. Knight, Senior -Training Officer of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd., Trail. He was assisted by several outstanding authorities in first aid matters.

These countries are now beer-drinking countries, with much lower alcoholism rates (than before, the brief stated. The change was brought about through taxation policy, with consequent effects on the relative prices of various aicc- rolic beverages. "Belgium has largest per capita consumption of beer in the world, and the alcoholism rate is about one per cent of the adult population, well below the- world average., and certainly below the rate in Canada," the brief points out. The brief outlines the contribution of the brewing industry to the Canadian economy. It provides' employment to -more than 60,000 Canadians in all parts of Canada, the brief states, and uses one-third of all barley processed and sold in Canada. And it. has contributed over a billion tax dollars to federal and provincial governments sin-ce the end of World War II. "Particularly at a time when the government is stressing the need for* greater employment", it is worth noting that beer, which is a bulky Guaranteed Watch & Jewelry Repairs .

On the score of beer prices, the brewers point cut that since 1939, when the DBS Consumer Price Index increased 98%, the average price of a case of beer increased only 56%. But most of this increase is extra taxes, the 'brief states. Of the 56% price increase the brewers themselves received only 20% to take caie of the considerable increase in wage and materials costs. The submission to the Finance Minister asks for the rescinding of the emergency tax placed on beer at the time of Korea, and the elimination of the present practice of the brewer paying sales tax on the beer excise duty as well as on the sale price ��of the beer. The brewers point out that this tax on tax is not levied on wine.
